Palestinian State Recognition Backed by Nearly 6 in 10 Americans: Poll

8.20.25
Nearly six in 10 Americans believe members of the United Nations should recognize a Palestinian state, according to a new poll. The poll comes amid ongoing concerns about the humanitarian conditions in Gaza. The IDF is accused of killing more than 62,000 people, according to the Associated Press, citing Gaza's Health Ministry. Critics have sounded the alarm on Israel's military operation, with worries over the number of civilians killed or displaced. In recent weeks, more countries have moved to recognize a Palestinian state amid fears of the potential starvation of civilians in Gaza. A majority of Americans—58 percent—believe every country should recognize Palestinian territory as an independent nation, according to a poll from Reuters and Ipsos released on Wednesday. Only 33 percent said they do not believe U.N. members should recognize a Palestinian state, while 9 percent did not answer the question.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced earlier in August that Australia would recognize the Palestinian state as a nation in September. France in July also said it would recognize a Palestinian nation. The United Kingdom said the same, if conditions are not met by Israel. But it has been U.S. policy across Democratic and Republican administrations to not recognize a Palestinian state. The administration of President Donald Trump has not signaled any shift from the status quo on the matter. Polling over recent months has shown a decline in American compassion for Israel. A Quinnipiac University poll released in June found that sympathies for Israel dipped to a record low, with only 37 percent of Americans saying they feel more sympathetic toward Israel.

Why would Kurds accept only land in northern Syria that is mostly empty deserts and mountains, when most of their population is in eastern Turkey and northern Iraq?
